LIVE Hull City transfer news as Isaac Success and Jackson Irvine close to joining with just days remaining in the window

Hello and welcome along to the LIVE Hull City transfer blog, where we will have all the news and rumours for you throughout the day.

With a matter of days remaining before the transfer window draws to close on Thursday, Leonid Slutsky is still looking to add four more players to his squad.

Isaac Success is expected to be the first to come in this week. The Watford striker will join the club on loan, as he looks for game time, something that has proved hard to come by since his move to Vicarage Road last summer.

The striker could be joined by Burton Albion midfielder Jackson Irvine this week. City are believed to be in advanced talks with the Australian midfielder over a permanent deal as Slutsky looks to boost his midfield options.

Irvine scored a wonderful goal against the Tigers earlier in the month before receiving a red card after two yellow cards.

Hector: Defence as awesome as attack

Michael Hector is delighted to fianlly get a clean sheet in a Hull City shirt.

The defender was one of three centre-backs to start the game against Bolton Wanderers on Friday night as the Tigers went on to win 4-0.

However, while fans and pundits alike may have been raving about City’s force going forward, the on loan defender believes the side’s defensive efforts deserve credit too.

“It’s what we wanted going into the match and to come away with that and all three points ensured it was a pleasing night’s work.

“I thought as a team we defended really well, and with the sort of players we’ve got at the other end of the pitch, we always feel we are going to score.

“Having scored three goals so early in the game, we knew that we had to stay switched on at the back and defended properly. I think we all did our jobs and the clean sheet was thoroughly deserved.”

ICYMI yesterday

Hull City’s trip to Fulham in September has been pushed back 24 hours.

The Tigers were originally due to travel to west London to take on Fulham on Tuesday 12 September, but due to Chelsea hosting a UEFA Champions League group stage game on the same night, City will play the Cottagers on the Wednesday instead.

City on the verge of another double swoop

The Tigers are on the verge of adding another two players to their depleted squad as Isaac Success and Jackson Irvine are close to joining the club.

Success is expected to arrive on loan while Irvine would be a permanent deal, moving from Burton Albion in what is likely to be a club record fee received for the Brewers.

Irvine has been a key player for Burton since joining the club from Ross County last summer, bagging 11 goals in 44 games from midfield, a average of one in four. Slutsky has been looking for a player capable of replacing Sam Clucas in City’s midfield and in Irvine, they seem to have their man.

Success on the other hand is still looking to prove himself in England. The striker joined Watford from Granada last summer for £12.5m, the Russian will be hoping he can settle in the Championship should he join on loan.
